He only had one solo album prior to Shock Value in 98 and the lead single had Magoo on it.

Shock Value was the result of his crazy 2000s run + his great production on FS/LS in my opinion

Your post didn't say anything about it having to be in the streaming era. Stop moving the goalposts now

We Only F*** with ketchup anyway

I shouldn't have to, it's self explanatory The market is completely different now. Someone brought up Kanye West, his debut sold 400k first week. Barely anybody doing that now, definitely not on their debut

Who are you even attributing Timbaland stimulus to? JT? Nelly Furtado? Jay Z? Missy Elliot? Omarion? Bro was producing hits for so many artists, there's no clear recent hit single before Shock Value like there is for Mustard

Not sure why Mustard got upset. 18K isn't that bad for a producer, especially not for a has-been. When was his last big song before NLU? 2020 or 2021? His style just isn't exciting anymore and I say that as someone who has multiple Mustard produced songs in my all time fave songs from the 2010s. Besides, that tracklist was never going to pull big numbers.

As for the other bullshit he started posting on twitter.. I don't think I've ever seen a so-called winning side crash out as often as Kendrick & Friends (& stans).

It really says a lot about the whole situation and the underlying aspects of it.

Haven’t even heard the album yet & I’m a big Mustard fan

When a worker stands next to a boss, they get delusional and begin to think they are a boss themselves.
I know, I got delusional myself, standing next to a boss.

This what is happening here, he think he is on Kenny level.

dj mustard calling people bots like he playing a battle royale

Mustard crashing out hard

It's really sad that artists themselves get this upset about album sales, leave that s*** to the weirdos

Maneater
Promiscuous
Say It Right

3 hits produced by Timbaland for just 1 of the artists I named, 2 of them went #1, on an album which dropped just 3 months before FS/LS. Ice Box also dropped after those but before Shock Value

You can't attribute the success of Shock Value solely to Timbaland's work on FS/LS. It's not the same as Mustard and NLU

Crine

What was Gordo’s first week sales?

lmaooooooooooooooo

Under 10k since he ain't make the charts

We’re talking about what actually happened though. Hate when niggas have to resort to hypotheticals and make that their argument 100%

I'm losing perspective on beef

make sure you post @GordoSZN first week since drake thought he did a thing with making him drop on the same day as me 😂

man that got me crine

Rooting for Mustard to do well

Don’t think he did himself any favors with the combination of that album title (not a bad title on its own) + the Tom from MySpace album cover. Could’ve used a better presentation

cover should have been ice spice

Mayo with mustard>>
